Curtis Douglas Lee, II, 28, and Jasmin Lakeisha Dent, 22, both of Flint, were arraigned on Friday, Aug. 1, said Special Assistant Prosecuting Attorney John Potbury.

Lee is charged with first degree fleeing police causing death, a 15-year felony. He is also charged with several felonies including two counts of second degree fleeing police resulting in serious injury, carrying a concealed weapon, felon in possession of a firearm, and felony firearm second offense.

Dent is charged with several felonies including tampering with evidence, accessory after the fact to a felony, and false report of a felony. She was also charged with lying to a peace officer during a criminal investigation which is a 2-year circuit court misdemeanor.

Potbury said both Lee and Dent are being held at the Genesee County Jail. He said Lee is being held on a $100,000 cash bond while Dent is being held on a $40,000 bond.

The charges stem from a July 3 chase that began when a Michigan State Police trooper attempted to stop a vehicle for a traffic violation on Stewart Avenue near North Street.

Investigators say Lee fled from the trooper on North Street at a high rate of speed, according to a news release from the Genesee County Prosecutor's Office.

The chase went seven blocks beforfe the trooper's cruiser crashed into another car at North Street and Pierson Road.

The three people in that vehicle were taken to an area hospital where Nichols was pronounced dead and the other two occupants were treated for injuries.

Following the collision, authorities say Lee continued north on North Street but lost control and hit a utility pole as he attempted to turn west onto Ridgeway Street, according to the release.

After Lee allegedly fled on foot, officials say Dent drove off in the car.

The car, which officials say was registered to Dent, was near Arlington Street and later that evening she reported it stolen to Flint police, according to the release.

The case remains under investigation.

Two other people have been killed in 2014 during Michigan State Police pursuits.

Troopers were conducting a stop for having tinted windows when the driver of the vehicle, a 28-year-old man, fled police. He collided with Thompson's vehicle that was headed eastbound on Newall.

The suspect was arrested.

Tiphanie Fayette Mayfield died on June 18 after the vehicle she was in was struck June 12 near Mackin Road and Caldwell Avenue by a suspect fleeing a Michigan State Police trooper over a traffic violation.

Mayfield's vehicle was left mangled after the chain-reaction crash left the car of another innocent bystander damaged.

The crash that led to Mayfield's death was initiated over a traffic stop, police allege the suspect was involved in more serious crimes.
